Dixie Kong is one of the main characters of the Donkey Kong games. A member of the Kong clan, Dixie's trademark ponytail allows her to attack, hold onto objects such as hooks, and hover in the air by spinning it like a rotor, a move called the Helicopter Spin. Introduced as Diddy Kong's strong-willed girlfriend, she has starred in multiple installments of the Donkey Kong Country series as a playable character. Dixie Kong has a sanguine and energetic personality, and she often expresses herself in cheerful vocalizations and acrobatic mannerisms.
After Rare's departure from Nintendo, Dixie Kong has occasionally appeared in spin-off Super Mario franchise titles as a playable character.
